The GOP-controlled House and Senate budgets not only drastically cut
spending on education, retirement, environment, road and bridges,
climate change, immigration, job creation, Obamacare, food stamps, and
other social welfare programs; but it gives the Pentagon a blank check,
and includes tax cuts for the rich and corporations while raising taxes
for lower-income Americans. That’s the analysis by the National Priorities Project (NPP), not just Krugman, and they make an even more disturbing point.
In
almost every one of these budget areas, nationwide polls show that a
majority of Americans strongly oppose what the GOP is proposing. In
other words, the Republicans are not delivering the kind of federal
government that Americans want; they are declaring economic war on
average Americans by reshaping government to serve the upper classes and
biggest businesses.
